An experienced gardener is needed in a voluntary role as the leader of a team of volunteer gardeners
The Association of Bloomsbury Squares and Gardens is looking for an experienced gardener to organise a team of volunteer gardeners in the squares of Bloomsbury. The role is entirely voluntary, but expenses for materials will be covered.
The ideal person might be:
- a recently retired professional
- an amateur gardener, especially with experience of leading non-gardening or volunteer teams
- a former volunteer in a large garden or park
- a trainee looking for experience
The role includes (and will be developed by discussion):
- Building up a group of gardening volunteers for a regular weekly or fortnightly session
- Planning and implementing a rolling programme of general maintenance (weeding, light pruning, minor replanting and sowing)
- Explanation of tasks to the volunteers and general overview of the work
- Risk assessment and management
If you are interested in leading or being part of such a team, please contact us on folia@tiscali.co.uk
